Soggy Doggy

Hands down this is THE product we use most with our dog. I have one by each entry door and I also have one in the car.

Soggy Doggy has “shammy” towels and mats that help dry off your dog’s paws and body when they come in from the outside. When using their Shammy Towel, you simply slip your hands into each side of the towel pockets and it is easy to dry off your dog and their paws. We also have the mat by the back door and have trained our dog to go sit on it right after she walks in.

The material of the Soggy Doggy products is soft and wicks away moisture (plus it doesn’t smell)! These are so much better than towels that hold onto water and stink — and when you need to, you can simply put these towels and mats right into the washing machine and dryer (on low).

Invaluable to anyone with a pet that goes outside. . . . all pet owners!! The fall rainy season is here where we live and throughout the winter, too, we use our Soggy Doggy towels most days to help dry off our pets and to help keep the house a little cleaner. This is the perfect gift for someone who just got a new dog or someone who you see frustrated by using towels to dry off their dog.

Welcome to Secret Gift Closet

In our home I have a special closet with secret gifts inside. Some are ‘tried and true’ that I have on hand for hostess gifts, sudden birthday parties and thank you gifts. Others are hand-picked for a friend or relative waiting for an upcoming event or holiday.

The idea for this site came to me because every year before the holidays a few of my close friends would reach out and ask for gift ideas for their Dad, their teenage cousin or even a business colleague. Every time I would get a request like this, I dropped everything and started searching for ideas. Doing that kind of deep-dive research is what I live for.

Secret Gift Closet is about sharing my favorite gift ideas from one girlfriend to another. Over the years I consider it an honor to share my discoveries with my best friends. . . and now you!

And, of course, if you have your own go-to favorites, I hope you will share them here, too.

I truly believe the best gifts are the gifts of time and memories we make together. I just don’t like to show up empty handed.
